The EAW included the following data in its analysis: Parking spaces added: Proposed Church Potential Expansion - Total 1,100 350 1,450 The parking expansion currently proposed includes 229 parking spaces. This is Less than the ordinance requirement would be for the hypothetical expansion of seating capacity, (which is not being proposed). It also is less than what was assumed for the EAW. Therefore, impacts of the current proposal are less than what was assumed in previous analyses. Future Parking Needs: Though the ordinance requirements are being met, the parking issue must be reviewed if additional church seating is proposed in the future. The ordinance requirements seem to be underestimating the actual parking needs for the church and its activities. If the parking expansion is needed now, without any additional seating, it is not clear how parking for an additional 700 persons would be accommodated on the site. That question should be addressed when and if a proposal for additional seating is submitted, which will require amendment of the conditional use permit according to the original approval conditions. Lighting: Lighting will be added for safety in the parking expansion area. The same fixtures and poles used in the existing parking areas must be used in the expansion area.
